About this lecture

In this powerful khutba delivered on the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Sheikh Yasser Qadhi reflects on his personal experience of that day, condemns the attacks unequivocally in light of Islamic principles, and addresses the wave of anti-Muslim bigotry that followed. He calls on American Muslims to respond to hatred and fear not with despair, but with prophetic character, community engagement, and pride in their identity — demonstrating through their actions the true beauty of Islam.
